Fighter War Machine due in Las Vegas court

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A mixed martial arts fighter known as War Machine is due to face a Las Vegas judge on felony allegations that he badly injured his porn star ex-girlfriend before fleeing to California last month.

The man born Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday on battery, lewdness, assault and coercion charges in the Aug. 8 attack on adult film actress Christy Mack and her male friend at a Las Vegas home.

The 32-year-old Koppenhaver was arrested Aug. 15 in the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley and returned last week in custody to Nevada.
